“Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might
positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching, and service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to build
serious academic lives online, presenting semi-public selves and becoming invested in and connected to the work of their peers and students.” (Greenhow, Robella, & Hughes, 2009)

Youtube & other social media mitigate “connection without constraint”. Often, this leads to the development of “tremendously deep communities”.

“I was able to go out and learn throughout the entire week, the entire year, and Iʼm still
learning with everyone.”
“The best part of the course is that itʼs not ending. With the connections weʼve built, it
never has to end.”

“The course ... has been the most profound pd experience Iʼve ever had. It forced me to critique & review my practice. I never knew how important social networks
were. Now, I couldnʼt be a teacher without being connected. Itʼs drastically changed my view of education.”

“We need to move beyond the idea that education is something
that is provided for us, and toward the idea that an education
is something that we create ourselves.”
(Downes, 2010)
